Location

Denver has one of the fastest-growing metropolitan populations in the country, and its big-city amenities are increasing all the time, with acclaimed art museums, a vast performing arts complex, eight professional sports teams and plenty of palate-tempting dining options.

Urbanism aside, many visitors travel to Metro Denver to get outside. Moreover, from the ponderosa-wooded trails near Deckers to the rolling hills around Castle Rock to Red Rocks’ impressive outdoor amphitheater, there are plenty of opportunities to do so.

The long-running theory among Denverites is that if the rest of the country knew about the Mile-High City’s 300 or so annual days of the sunshine, resolute friendliness, and relative affordability, there wouldn’t be anyone left to live in other major cities.

Colorado is one of the most beautiful states in the country with its Rocky Mountain range, offering both a myriad of summer and winter outdoor sports
